Chapter 38: Saving People
As Jin Bao swallowed the gene core, a hazy light slowly surged on it. The moment the gene core entered its body, it was immediately decomposed into countless pure gene energies, and these energies flowed throughout its body. Influx into its own gene nucleus.
And under this hazy light, the wounds on Jin Bao's body also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long for the wounds on Jin Bao's body to fully recover.
This is the effect of devouring the gene nucleus.
It stands to reason that if an ordinary person, or a zombie or a beast that has not yet mutated, after devouring the gene nucleus, it is possible to evolve and possess supernatural powers.
The gene nucleus is like a key, which can open the door hidden deep in your genes and liberate your own power.
However, people and beasts like Duan Fei and Jin Bao who have already awakened, after devouring the gene nucleus again, the gene nucleus will not allow him to evolve, but will be decomposed by their bodies into the purest gene energy. They will evolve again when the energy has accumulated to a certain level and they have enough power to unlock the genetic chain.
After eating the gene nucleus of the mutated lizard, Jin Bao's body gradually became smaller, and finally returned to his original appearance, and quickly ran to Duan Fei's side.
It rubbed its head against Duan Fei's face, as if it was acting like a baby to him, and wanted Duan Fei to praise his performance just now.
Still have the heart of a child!
Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "Good job, worthy of praise!" After speaking, he patted it on the head as a sign of encouragement.
After hearing Duan Fei's words, Jin Bao happily jumped up and down on the ground, wagging his fluffy tail non-stop, and kept making strange sounds of "coo, coo, coo".
Seeing it like this, Duan Fei couldn't help smiling. Although Jinbao looks majestic, like a beast. However, he is a husky in his bones, and his characteristics of being cute and guilty will never change with its evolution.
Knowing that it has the ability of "transformation", Duan Fei made it shrink its body a little bit, and retracted its wings by the way. The next place he was going to was a refuge protected by the army, and Duan Fei didn't want to bring a monster there.
After hearing Duan Fei's words, although Jin Bao was a little reluctant, he still obediently turned into a puppy, then lay on Duan Fei's shoulder, squinted his eyes, and dozed off.
After glancing at it, Duan Fei smiled faintly, stepped over the corpse of the mutated lizard, and walked towards the shelter.
Zombies still appeared on the road, but compared to just now, there were much fewer. Some smart mutated zombies fled here one after another after sensing the aura of Jin Bao who was lying on Duan Fei's body, not daring to approach him at all. The only people who are not afraid of death are those low-level zombies without any IQ.
Facing these low-level zombies, Duan Fei didn't need to care at all. He waved the iron rod in his hand at will, and their heads were smashed directly, killing them with one blow.
However, the further you go into the city, the more and more zombies, Duan Fei is not very annoying, and finally can't help speeding up, trying to avoid these zombies instead of killing them.
Walk forward slowly.
at this time……
"Bang!", a gunshot broke the silence of the city, Duan Fei was slightly startled, and his right foot stopped in the air.
"Gunshots, are there survivors! Or the army?" Duan Fei's eyes flashed with thought.
However, at this moment, there were several gunshots not far away. From the sound, it seemed that the person who fired the gun was in the midst of a fierce battle.
After hearing these dense gunshots, Duan Fei rushed towards the direction of the gunshots without any hesitation.
It is impossible for ordinary civilians to own these firearms. Even if the police station is ransacked, it is impossible to obtain any powerful weapons. Listening to the dense gunfire, it should be more likely to be the army.
Thinking of this, Duan Fei's face gradually turned cold.
He still vividly remembered the tragic battle with Ma Long's group of soldiers that day, and Duan Fei didn't have a good impression of these soldiers.
But Duan Fei will not kill them, because he is not the kind of bloodthirsty person who is easy to kill, and because he sneaked into the refuge, Duan Fei wants their help.
Hearing the gunshots at this moment, Duan Fei knew that they had obviously fallen into a hard fight. Shooting and fighting in the city, in his opinion, is simply courting death. But since you want to get their help, you must win their favor.
Right now, an excellent opportunity is right in front of Duan Feikuai.
...
At a dilapidated street corner, more than a dozen zombies rushed over quickly, baring their teeth and claws.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
After a series of gunshots, several bullets hit the zombies in the front row. The bullets hit their bodies, but only slightly blocked their footsteps. Occasionally a few bullets hit their heads, which killed them.
"Captain Cao, what should we do? There are too many zombies, and only headshots can kill them. We are running out of bullets!" A short-haired, slender soldier asked in panic.
The 95-type automatic rifle in Cao Silong's hand swallowed flames, and he stepped back quickly. His body was already soaked in sweat, and his face shone with determination.
"Xiao Qin, don't worry, protect the civilians first, and I'll cover your retreat!" Cao Silong stared at the zombie rushing in front of him, and roared in a low voice.
Behind them, there was a man and two women, and one of the women was holding a little girl about five years old in her hands. Their faces were full of horror, trembling with fright at the scene in front of them.
"Brother Cao!" Hearing Cao Silong's words, another young soldier's eyes turned red and he was almost crying: "Brother Cao, what are you talking about? If we leave, how can you cope with so many zombies. "
"Captain Cao, let's go together!" The young soldier named Xiao Qin also growled.
Hearing the excited words of his subordinates, Cao Silong had a sore nose and almost cried.
His eyes were cold, and in addition to warmth, there was also an extremely suppressed anger in his heart.
Today he was ordered to perform a mission with seven subordinates. However, what he didn't expect was that the engine of the military vehicle suddenly broke down halfway through the drive.
You should know that all kinds of equipment in the general army are regularly inspected and maintained, and such sudden failures basically do not happen. However, this kind of thing happened to it.
Cao Silong can get to this level at such a young age, his mind is brighter than a mirror. Almost instantly, he guessed that someone had tampered with the car.
He has never offended anyone in the army, and the possibility of seeking revenge is basically zero. The only possibility is a dispute between rights and parties. If so, the mastermind behind the scenes is ready to be revealed.
"Guan Zhonghua, if I, Cao Silong, can go back alive, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" Cao Silong roared in his heart.
Along the way, in the face of constant harassment from zombies, he has lost four brothers. Now, there are only these three people left.
Xiao Qin's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth: "Captain, it's really impossible, let's give up these people, there are too many zombies, we can't protect ourselves, how can we protect others!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the survivors behind changed, showing a hint of panic on their faces.
"Sir, you can't just abandon us like this. As soldiers, your duty is to protect the safety of ordinary people like us..." One of the aunts who was about forty years old shouted loudly.
"Get out, shut your stinking mouth!" Xiao Qin's eyes were red, and he yelled: "If it wasn't for saving you, how could we be in this situation!"
The aunt's face turned pale, obviously frightened by Xiao Qin.
"Enough!" Cao Silong said with a gloomy face, "Have you forgotten how Commander Luo taught us? The duty of soldiers is to protect the safety of the people. Don't talk nonsense, just lead them back honestly, this is an order!"
The three soldiers clenched their fists, and earnestly gave a standard military salute to Cao Silong: "Yes, captain, I promise to complete the mission. However, you must come back alive!" They reloaded the bullets, and then said loudly to the survivors : "Follow me quickly, pay attention to your speed, don't lose track!"
With that said, the three soldiers turned around and were about to retreat to the rear.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and the woman holding the child pointed not far away, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Look, what is that?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looking in the direction she pointed.
Not far away, there were still a large number of zombies pouring in, but among the zombies, there was a person who rushed into the group of zombies, dancing up and down with an iron rod in his hand, and actually slaughtered the zombies in front of him.
"That is……"
"How is it possible?" Cao Silong exclaimed, with endless ecstasy in his eyes.
